Thank you to Tricia Edwards of Southern Illinois Now for joining our Jackson CEO students last week!

Tricia led an engaging discussion about regional growth, the factors that attract and retain people in Southern Illinois, and the importance of working together to strengthen our communities.

One takeaway that stood out to our students was, “A win for one is a win for all,” a powerful reminder that collaboration and shared success are essential in both business and economic development.

We appreciate Tricia taking the time to share her knowledge and perspective with our students!
